Luigi Russolo

The art of noise is not a new one, apparently:

"In the pounding atmosphere of great cities as well as in the formerly silent countryside, machines create today such a large number of varied noises that pure sound, with its littleness and its monotony, now fails to arouse any emotion."

"We must break at all cost from this restrictive circle of pure sounds and conquer the infinite variety of noise sounds."
